The project
The brief
Tidewell’s coastal blend needed a tin people would keep after the tea ran out. The art had to wrap all the way round and still work flat on a shelf card.
How it was made
I drew the birds in a loop so the tin reads as one scene from any side. Colour proofs were checked against the printer’s metal samples before we signed off.
The result
The first run sold out in a month. Customers now send photos of the tins reused as pencil pots.
